Arched greenhouse is one of the most popular types of greenhouses. They are multifunctional. Arch shaped greenhouses are suitable for all types of garden work: in it you can grow seedlings, cultivate heat-loving plants, get early and off-season vegetable crops, and grow flowers. Some gardeners even practice growing grapes in arch greenhouses. The design of the arched greenhouse allows you to grow tall plants not only in the central part, but also near the walls.
So, the main advantages of an arched greenhouse are the following:
- arched more resistant to wind than greenhouses with smooth walls;
- in winter there is less snow on it;
- such greenhouses have better permeability of light rays;
- condensate formed inside the greenhouse flows down the walls, and does not drip onto the plants;
- lack of junction of panels on top of the cover;
- can be mounted both on the foundation and on wooden beams, or just in the ground.
Of course, each design has its advantages and disadvantages. Arched greenhouses are no exception to the rule. Under certain conditions, they are the best option for growing any crops. In other situations, arched greenhouses are inferior to other types of summer cottages. The main thing is to consider these features first. Even before the construction of the greenhouse, it makes sense to determine the types of plants that are supposed to be placed in it, and the frequency of their cultivation (seasonally or all year round) and then you will be provided with a good harvest!
An arched polycarbonate greenhouse is stronger under snow load than ordinary glass because the material is bent and stressed.
